The new kaiju blockbuster premiered in the US in March and is currently in cinemas in Japan. Related: Umamusume: Pretty Derby Beginning of a New Era Anime Film Tears up the Track in T.M. Opera O Character Trailer There's no word yet on whether this collab will extend further than the poster. Godzilla in particular is no stranger to anime collabs, between the long-running Hamtaro collab character Godziham-kun and the crossover events for Shin Godzilla and Rebuild of Evangelion . For the moment, though, it seems this is the extent of the team-up.

Welcome, readers, to Late to the Party , a column that's right on time when it comes to catching up on anime everyone's already watched. This column addresses a universal truth in regard to being an anime fan: an anime backlog is quite the powerful beast. Many of us have one, where we amass more and more content we have designated in the "planning to watch" category. How and why it takes so long to actually address this task varies from person to person, but the gratification of finally allocating the time is really quite splendid. Occasionally, it’s by watching a classic anime from yesteryear that you’ve had your eye on for quite some time. I’ve had today’s entry on my tentative watchlist for a while, and at long last, I’m ready to take the plunge. My dear readers, prepare yourself for the wonderful world of the horse girls.
